These events represent a mix of exhibitions, hands-on research showcases, campus tours, and student life insights, encapsulating the spirit of experimentation and interdisciplinary collaboration for which Summaery is known.
Other highlights include the opening festival of the Summaery, titled "Resist the beginnings!," taking place on July 11th at the main building of the university, starting at 4 PM. The event includes opening speeches, champagne, DJs, two stages, a bar, and delicious food. The Summer Cinema, starting at 8 PM, offers a variety of films, including documentaries, feature films, and animated films, with food and live music available.
Unfortunately, the Weimar region is currently facing a forest fire and a new speed limit has been implemented, causing some confusion. A rescue station in the region is also at risk and requires urgent action. Students from Weimar have also rejected criticism from CDU and BSW. There is a call for action to address the ongoing occupation of Bauhaus University Weimar.
